This book was so long, but the length was necessary. I was determined to finish it because it was a bit slow to get into at the beginning, but once it picked up and the plot started, the book was great!! Forget Chase because Noah Riley is the perfect book boyfriend. Patient and kind, handsome and sexy. Definitely 5 stars !!!

This book is going directly into the favorites and for future re-reads.

I absolutely adore Noah and Ari, they're one of the best book couples I’ve read so far.

This book made me so nervous but I loved it so much. Love triangles generally aren’t my thing but I don’t really consider this a true love triangle book because it’s pretty clear who should win out here. But I was still scared which way it would go 

What a beautifully emotional book. The emotions really sneak up on you because from the beginning you assume you’re getting another new adult college romance (not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’d enjoy that too) but then it moves far beyond that

This book had me feeling every emotion under the sun. I went from kicking my feet like a school girl, to screaming at the book, to bawling my eyes out. Following Ari as she navigates letting go and finding herself again was a beautifully raw experience. In this self discovery journey, she finds Noah. What starts off as a friendship, blossoms into love. Noah shows her what it is like to be chosen and to be truly loved. While their relationship grows, Chase realizes where he went wrong and tries to win Ari back. This causes tension across the board and while this tension builds, circumstances worsen. I was a snotty mess by the end of this, but the tears were well worth it.

The beginning of the book was really nice and I felt it flowed pretty well. Once I got to the twist it gave I felt a bit of whiplash from the different tropes added in it towards the end that I wasn’t expecting. There aren’t any trigger or content warnings but there are some events that could be potentially triggering towards maybe the last 65-70% of the book.
